Great Soldering Station BUT...
3.0
The WE1010NA is a great soldering station. Heat is fast and steady and it does exactly what it does. However, I selected it because it was supposed to have an auto shut off, which it does not! I knew it has an auto setback feature, which sort of works but the auto setback temp. is not adjustable. Bottom line, this station is great as long as you don't accidentally leave it on. BTW, it does not have any sort of indicator light to help warn you that you're walking away without shutting it off.

I want to like it, but it's stuck in shipping hell. They won't deliver it without signature, and I'm not available when they stop by. Three attempts and it goes back to start all over again. I'm tempted to just hit "return to sender" on the UPS site. TE supposedly could lift the requirement, or have it delivered to a depot but will not. I don't care if it's stolen off the porch anymore. It's been a week and now it's a holiday.

Good but not great! Hakko FX888D a better choice!
3.0
This is a totally unbiased review. I have both soldering stations. Hakko FX888D's user interface is not good at all but once you set the presets it is a compromise. Hakko FX888D is a very solid machine and maintains tip temperature well. Weller WE1010NA, on the other hand, drops the temperature like crazy when soldering something big. Not sure if the Weller has 70 watts of power (says it does but definitely does not feel like it). Also no backlight for the Weller which is a shame as you have to make an effort to read the display. Hakko FX888D is a clear winner here.

First of all, there is no backlight. User interface is better than Hakko 888D BUT Hakko 888D is a very solid and robust machine. Hakko 888D does not drop temperature like crazy when you are soldering something that requires more capacity. I wonder if it has really 70 watts of power? Hakko 888D is much better pick; just program the presets to overcome the ridiculous user interface that the Hakko 888D has.
